What a way to end the season for the Peninsula Youth Orchestra! On Sunday, May 19th, PYO held an amazing concert featuring songs from around the globe and student compositions. Felix Burnsed was presented with the Citizen Artist Award and Tyler Pickett was recognized for his 10 years of participation with Soundscapes. Several other students also received medals for their 5th year with Soundscapes, and all graduating high school seniors received music honors cords.
